SQL Server guide

List workspaces

Returns all workspaces you have access to. Workspaces are top-level containers (often one per team or organization); projects and tasks belong to a workspace. Use this to discover workspace IDs for filtering other queries.

Standard SQL query example

This is the base query accepted by the connector. To execute it in SQL Server, you have to pass it to the Data Gateway via a Linked Server. See how to accomplish this using the examples below.

SELECT * FROM Workspaces

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_ASANA_IN_GATEWAY], 'SELECT * FROM Workspaces')

Using EXEC in SQL Server (handling larger SQL text)

The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements. This often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).

Fortunately, starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT [LS_TO_ASANA_IN_GATEWAY] syntax.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM Workspaces'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_ASANA_IN_GATEWAY]
